Important Rules of Evidence for Family Law Attorneys

Bari Brandes Corbin & Evan B. Brandes

Matrimonial and family law attorneys who only try divorce and custody cases know that all issues besides the grounds for divorce are tried before the court without a jury. In such cases, the rules of evidence are often relaxed. While this can make for a more straightforward presentation of evidence, it can also leave family practice lawyers unfamiliar with new or little used rules of evidence. This article discusses some of those important rules.

Validity of Child Support Statute Is Questioned

Noeleen G. Walder

In a unanimous panel decision issued by the Appellate Division, First Department, the court recently invalidated a 1992 support agreement because it failed to provide adequate support for a child born out of wedlock. What made the case noteworthy was the fact that the court's opinion called into question the constitutionality of a decades-old family law statute that requires judicial approval of an agreement for child support between a mother and the purported father of a nonmarital child.

An interesting recent decision in the Southern District has been brought to our attention. The case is <i>In Re Allied Capital Corp.</i>, CCH Fed. SEC L. Rep. 92411 (US DC, S.D.N.Y., Apr. 25, 2003). Judge Lynch's decision is well written, the Judge reviewing a motion to dismiss by a business development company, Allied Capital, against a strike suit claiming that Allied's method of valuing its portfolio failed adequately to account for i) conditions at the companies themselves and ii) market conditions.
